Central management of Skype Groups: admins should be able to create adn push groups to their endusers. it would be ideal if the groups could be tied to Active Directory. so that if a user is in a certain OU or a member of a particular AD Group that they automatically were added to a group in Skype.

When discussing a drawing for example, it would be helpful that also the clients can point on the screen and their mouse position is shown.
This will give a Feedback to all participants above what detail the client is talking.
Mouse is shown only if the client press the mouse button. Each client has its individual pointer (name, colour).

According to Action on Hearing Loss, 70% of deaf people in the UK feel that their deafness prevents them succeeding in the workplace while it's been found that deaf people earn on average £2,000 a year less than hearing people. Skype for Business with Translate would enable us to enter the corporate world with more confidence, armed with the tools to help us interact with global teams and enter jobs otherwise out of our reach. It would be life changing for people like me, who have stayed in lower jobs for the 'safety' of it. I recently pushed myself out of my comfort zone and got a new job but most of the anxiety about my job is about the fact I cannot participate in Skype for Business calls. As my team are global there is no alternative and as calls are often unscheduled, organising a CART for the call is not always possible, and is expensive, too. Please Skype, help change our lives.

When I end a voice call where I've been sharing my screen I'd like the screen share to stop, or at least Skype to alert me that it is still sharing. There is a very serious risk of the previous caller seeing something sensitive or confidential because the screen share is still running.

Please bring back the "Contact Time" / "Local Time" / "Time Zone" for Contacts feature for at least one-on-one chats for Skype for Desktop, as well as all other versions/platforms for the Skype client.
Also, as others have requested, please show this Contact's Local Time on the Contact Profile page, as well as next to each user's name in Group Chats.

I - like *many* other users, as detailed below - was very unhappy to see this feature removed in recent versions of Skype for Desktop.

Now, before contacting someone, I end up having to check the user's profile, and Google the local time for them, in order to ensure its during daytime hours for them. This becomes pretty tedious pretty quickly.
Also, I need to do that to figure out if its likely that people without auto-away enabled are likely to actually be there (as opposed to asleep, at home or work instead, etc.).

Many users are asking for this feature in different forms - either for it to be brought back, added to other client versions, or extended to more cases.
Everyone, if you want this feature, please vote in a single place (instead of spread across many requests and forum threads) regardless of your client version, so we can get enough votes for this to be addressed.
Also, I suggest voting for this older request (as it has the most votes of 40) which was for expanding Contact Time to be shown in more cases (back when it was still supported for one-on-one chats), in addition to this request (which is more relevant now, about bringing back this feature in any form).

As you can see, this is something that many users would like to see back in some way, shape or form, and even extended to more clients and contexts. Please, bring this back!

Thanks for your vote or consideration of this feature request!

Please bring back to the running unicorn emoji. I miss using this emoji on my chats... I have to go onto my iPhone and use my Skype app to add Apples emoji of the unicorn to my conversations. PLEASE BRING BACK THE PINK UNICORN.

We did a company poll and Skype For Business was one of the topics surveyed. We received some very negative feedback. I spoke with your support department and the directed me to here. I will share some of our feedback.

Skype for Business often shows other members of my department as offline when they are in the office, and sometimes others do not receive messages I try to send through Skype. The previous system we had was much more reliable.

Skype for Business does not always work. It logs off and signs back on in the background a few times a day.

Skype is a little less effective than Jabber, particularly when displaying current statuses. Once told my supervisor I was out for the last 256 days??

Skype is not very reliable. The representation of people on or offline is not always accurate. When you think a message has been sent you come back later and find that it failed. Skype also seems to disconnect randomly at times.

Skype For Business is the worst chat program I have ever used

I don't like skype for a couple of reasons, someone can IM me and it will show in the bottom corner but when I open it, it doesn't have the last message. Also, when I'm in the middle of working and someone IM's me it will stop me from what & where I am typing and then we have to click back on what we were doing.

Skype is terrible. It is unreliable. It signs off often, while still showing others that you are available. It won't send messages sometimes, or sends the message, but the recipient will not have received it.

Please fix these issues. As the IT Manager I like using Skype I feel it is good software but my user's complaints are valid. These issues need to be resolved.
